This episode continues from last week's talk on building authority through networking by showcasing 3 case studies on authority systems.

Networking sucks, but it really sucks for introverts.  Learn how to make networking suck less and create a network of prospective clients at the same time.

Direct email outreach is Dr. Samuel J. Woods approved.  You can also get a sample outreach sequence with the show notes.

Following up with all the people (prospects, vendors, clients and even past clients) connected to your business is critical to success.

Learn how to implement a follow-up system in your business.

Tim Conley and Samuel Woods start off discussing Tim’s 4 Hour Work Year and what that means to productivity, free time and creativity.

Then they get right to the core of the episode: Pricing

They start at the opening of the funnel and talk about getting a bunch of traffic.

But Sam Woods and I have found that starting with the end-result creates more and better clients.  Listen to the episode and get show notes here: http://consultingfuse.com/rea/

And the number 1 hot topic is getting clients.

Not just getting clients, but getting them fast!

I received dozens of emails, some tweets and a couple comments that basically went like this, “That consulting thing sounds nice, but I just can’t get myself going. I feel paralyzed and don’t know what to do.”

Over the past two weeks, we’ve looked at why you should get in to consulting in the first place, and how to position yourself to do just that. Listen in to the final installment in our six-figure consulting series.

On this week’s episode, Dr. Samuel J. Woods, Esq. and I once again go deeper into our consulting playbook.

Over the next three episodes we’re going to be diving into all things consulting and how if done correctly, can build or add an extra six figures a year.

Whether you’re already established in the consulting game, or just a freelancer ready to step it up to the next level, over these next three weeks Tim and Sam are going to change the way you approach your work and how you can take better control over your income.

What Should You Do To Fill Your Life With Opportunity?

Many consultants (freelancers and coaches) suffer from a lack of opportunities. They hustle to get work and then they spend all their time fulfilling the work. After they finish the client’s project, they have to run around trying to find another client.
